I test drove a used 2016 Mazda 6 Sport. After the test drive, I looked at the salesman and said, "shutup and take my f'ing money!" Traded in my 2013 fully modded Subaru Impreza and never looked back. What a fun car! I really don't want to mod it either, because it's perfectly balanced with really nothing lacking. Yeah, I could mod it for more power, but this car feels great through the power band. Just pulls and pulls and pulls until it shifts. Couldn't ask for more in a daily driver!
I'm now driving my third Mazda. The first one was a 1989 Mazda MX6. It was on the road for 17 years. Next Mazda was the Mazda6, 2007 model. I kept it 10 years till it was rear ended in July of this year. Best car I have ever owned. My new car is the Mazda6, 2017. I hope it is a good as the others. Good ride, good dependability are what I expect.
@@dragosnastasie3290 Very pleased with the car. No repairs, just regular maintenance. The car is so smooth on the highway. No regrets about the purchase. A new Mazda6 is unfortunately no longer available.
I just got my Mazda6 GS (Canada) with premium package. It is a 4 cylinder 2.5 but it does not feel underpowered when you drive as the transmission is nice and smooth and one of the best I have driven. Leather seating and the interior is nice compare to the competition. The only thing that lacks with this is the turbo engine. The only problem that I noticed that the backseat headroom is kind of low as there was no in dent unlike the front. I love how it turn and goes into corner. Fuel economy is phenomenal. Trunk space is huge as I can fit 2 stroller plus groceries with ease.
Been a fan of Everyman Driver for a year and a half now, but he so far deserves more subscribers! Love his style of reviews because it's unique and makes sense for those who want to know about a car in the market they want. Great as always Dave!
Mazda 6 is “The Car” beautiful and well designed. I’ve owned a 2010 Mazda 6, has almost 90k miles and zero problems after almost 8 years of ownership, just regular maintenance. Getting ready for an upgrade. Nice video and new subscriber. Mazda 6 should be # 1 but that’s ok cause gives you the feeling of exclusivity lol
Jobula Hope u can wait for the 2018 model! Aside from the obvious 2.5 Turbo option, the interior is receiving a big update; including re sculptured seats.
The Mazda 6 does in fact have all wheel drive in international markets. It's simply that Mazda feels there wouldn't be demand for it in the NA market, unfortunately. Sure would love the diesel with AWD. Yum. Good review!
Great review as usual! I just got the 2017 Mazda GT in black - I've driven many cars and Mazda truly delivers quite an amazing experience for a non-luxury... You get a lot of car for the money... And if you want more power - wait for the 2018!
Last year, I test drove the 2016 Honda Accord Hybrid and V6, 2016 Mazda 6 GT, 2016 VW Passat 1.8T, 2016 Malibu Hybrid, 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid, 2016 Subaru Legacy, and a couple of others. The Mazda was, by far, the sexiest of the bunch and best handling but this comes at a cost: outward visibility (especially with the Tech package) and lack of space (due to the low roof line). I really wanted to like the Mazda but, in the end, we went with the Subaru (actually, a 2017 fresh off the truck which came in the color combo I wanted). Next to the Mazda 6, it was surprisingly the best-handling of the bunch due to its boxer engine and AWD with torque vectoring. It was also quieter than the Mazda (but not quite as quick) and excellent fuel economy (the readout says 32.8mpg lifetime after almost 20K miles, Fuelly says it's more like 30.8). Sadly, there is no obvious king of the hill in this segment. Each has its own merits and demerits.
Out of all them as Kia Optima, Honda Accord I'd much rather have the Mazda 6. I never had a Mazda vehicle before but believe the 6 is worth more as Mazda has great reliability. It looks more sportier and has great performance in its class. I believe it looks better than Camry and Altima put together although I am a die hard Nissan fan the Altima is somewhat boring in different ways. For me if I went back to buying a car wanted something between Kia and Mazda I would go for 6. 1. It looks more aggressive. 2. Probably offers a much better ride. 3. I might be wrong but think Mazda is better than Kia. 4. Not sure if the 6 has good fuel economy. 5. Mazda has done well on their lineup of cars - (ZOOM-ZOOM) 6. I'd feel much safer driving a Mazda.
I had the 2014 mazda 6 for the last 3 years and could NOT wait to get rid of it, but it did ride nice and had excellent gas mileage. So test one out, you may like it
Najhae T I really like these cars as I think Mazda are sportier cars not sure about their value on how long they hold up but love all of the Mazda's my favorites are (6, CX-7 and 3 sedan could live without the hatchback.)
Give us a more detailed review on the skyactiv-drive automatic transmission vs dual clutch, CVT and step AT transmissions. Mazda claims it's skyactiv-drive is the ideal AT with all the advantages of the various types of transmissions. A detailed review in any of the modern automatic transmissions is vital.
with the rear seat backs down, i get my Cannondale road bike in there with no issues. Just remove the front wheel and slide it in. No need for a bike carrier :)
I can unfortunately say that the Mazda 6 is a very safe car as an oncoming turning car crashed into me when I had a green light right as I entered the intersection. I’m without a scratch; impact was between 25-30 mph… but my car is completely ruined. The other driver was declared at fault and I’m hoping for the best outcome on my end. 195,000 miles and not one single check engine light; just fluids, tires & suspension. Was practically counting on at least two more years and maybe one more year of road trips before that accident. Quite pissed my car didn’t die a more natural death…
Hey Dave, I have a question. I just got my Mazda6 GS trim (Canada) with premium package. I see your review that your backseat head room has an indent. Mine does not have. Does this comes only with the GT model? Hope you can help me.
Love this video Dave Erickson!!! How reliable can a Mazda really be in the long run? I've been influenced to believe Fords and Mazdas are not reliable like Hondas and Toyotas. But I've never been sure about Mazdas. Can anyone vouch for Mazda? They've been coming out with beautiful cars and I want one lol
Mark Magana we have a 13 and 14 Mazda 3 and haven't had any issues. A friend of mine also had an '08 and had no issues. Ford, on the other hand... I had nothing but problems with my '15 Fusion.
That's reassuring! How many miles on your two Mazda 3s if you don't mind? & your Fusion, what's wrong with that? I've read about them having engine problems not too long ago.
Mark Magana The 13 has around 70-80,000 miles, 14 has a lot less. And I no longer have the fusion, but there was consistent problems with it, mostly electronics and build. Some Ford wasn't even able to fix
Roger Lo I ordered the 2017 one last month and it arrives next Thursday. Simply because the price dropped massively due to the 2018 model only being round the corner and the fact I'm impatient. The 2017 model is amazing so I can only guess how good the 2018 model would be. Is it a facelift or total redesign?
Yasir because just like Accord , Camry has completely different approach to build mid size sedan. It was as politically correct as could have phrase it....

How is it doing now?
@@marcoramos426 Very satisfied. It is a pleasure to take it out for a drive.
So nice to hear. I had the mx6 for years too and was my favourite car, and just about to purchase this car second hand. Can't wait

Chris Sorreda Hi Chris, yes, i think I can wait, I’ve seen pictures and videos and it will be the best Mazda 6 ever. Thank you!
The Mazda 6 does in fact have all wheel drive in international markets. It's simply that Mazda feels there wouldn't be demand for it in the NA market, unfortunately. Sure would love the diesel with AWD. Yum. Good review!
not the sedan version. but the station wagon version does have four wheel drive
Great review as usual! I just got the 2017 Mazda GT in black - I've driven many cars and Mazda truly delivers quite an amazing experience for a non-luxury... You get a lot of car for the money... And if you want more power - wait for the 2018!
Best looking in the mid size class!
Last year, I test drove the 2016 Honda Accord Hybrid and V6, 2016 Mazda 6 GT, 2016 VW Passat 1.8T, 2016 Malibu Hybrid, 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid, 2016 Subaru Legacy, and a couple of others.

"Sleek, sexy, and sporty". Indeed. The car is nice, too.
This is my car. Mine is in the deep crystal blue mica color.

Hi Dave I like your new format with additional graphics. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the review, Dave! Will you also review the new CX-5? That would be really great :)
with the rear seat backs down, i get my Cannondale road bike in there with no issues. Just remove the front wheel and slide it in. No need for a bike carrier :)
Happy riding!
Comon' Mazda. You know all your M6 drivers want the 2.5 turbo from the CX-9.
Will you get the new Mazda CX-5?! Can't wait for that please do a video on that!
wow this car is really nice , thanks for the video

Could you please tell me the location where you shot this film?
same music as a MMA channel I watch, you the same guy? Out here producing content like crazy
Best review I've seen of the Mazda6 yet. Great work.
Thank you for your taking the time to leave a comment - Dave

Good riddance. You're better off without the Fusion. Thank you for your input and time. I really appreciate it!
I like the 2013 Mazda3 hatchback..I had one i regret selling it...I will buy it again..
Is the Mazda 6 sport a good car
There would be one parked in my driveway, if not for their defective infotainment screen.
Great review, thanks Dave!
The problem with the turbo engine for 2018 is that they won’t offer a manual with it lame to the max
I'm confused between this and the Mazda 3 . But I'm getting one of them soon.
Mazda Jackson tn has closed requireing 160 mi trip for maintance. Mileage has dropped from 2 to 25.3 mph speedo reads 12000 mles
Get the 2017 Mazda 6 or wait for the 2018 coming out in a few months?

@SMERSH i really want 2018 version if i can get one
the leather interior can be fitted in the attraction trim?
In which city you were driving in this video?
PLEASE Test the 2018 turbo!!!
Where is the Mazda 6 2018 review?
Why isn't the Camry mentioned as a competitor for this car as well?
Yasir because just like Accord , Camry has completely different approach to build mid size sedan.
It was as politically correct as could have phrase it....
it basically looks like a BMW when covering the front grill
My 2016 Camry xse has 185 hp. I think the new V4 xse has 200 hp
shame they didn't send you a soul red one... there is nothing sexier than the Mazda3 or 6 in soul red
This car could really kill with sales if it wasn't for the weak 184 HP 4 banger. It's peppy but u grow bored very quick
Now where is the 2017 cx-5 off-road review? Only wanna hear from the best so don't keep your audience wait for too long. Zoom zoom lol
You forgot to show the exterior lighting 🤦
Ok, I'll fix it.
Buen video viejo ¡
Dave, will you marry me?
Brandon Thurman no, we are already engaged lol
thiufhr the gt was turbo
i like this car but i dont like how they want it to be like a camry and try to save gas every second
WeKnowTheTruth2012 This car is NOTHING like a Camry, except for the fact their both midsize sedans.
New favorite host after Matty from car wow!!!! 😊
Does the 2017 Mazda 6 Grand Touring have a CD player?
Tomlin Gaming 😅what...!?

What’s a CD player?
